Frequently Asked Questions
Typically, training takes place at the local offices. Candidates looking to open a Kumon Centre must attend training with the company. Candidates will also need to make arrangements to attend initial training that will typically run over a five-week period. Continuous follow-up training is provided after the commencement of your Centre, to ensure the content is relevant to your operating needs.
Topics covered in the training include:
- Instruction principles and learning materials
- The Kumon Method, curriculum, and learning materials
- Student assessment and enrolment
- The effective implementation of study programmes
- Communication with parents and students
- Centre management strategies
- Centre administration, policies, and procedures
The opening of new centres is directly linked to the realisation of Kumon’s vision. We aim to give as many students as possible the opportunity to learn using our materials, and thus, contribute to the global community. When planning new locations, the Company carefully considers the following factors:
- The number of children of a target age group residing in the available location
- The number of children within the available location that already study at other Kumon Learning Centres
- Rental rates offered by landlords
As our mission is to develop the potential of as many children as possible, Kumon does not assign exclusive territories to Instructors.
Yes, you can! Many of our franchisees came in with little to no experience in teaching, from professionals, executives to homemakers etc. The instructor training is specifically designed to impart the principles of effective teaching by providing a range of theory and practical skills for instructing Kumon students, as well as communication skills and knowledge in centre management.
All new Kumon Instructors must offer both the Math and English programmes within their Kumon Learning Centre.
Since each Kumon franchise is independently owned and does not report its total income to us, we cannot provide a hard number. However, as part of your franchisee training, you’ll develop a business plan that can assist you in projecting your revenues and expenses. Join us at our Franchise Information Session to find out more! We also encourage you to speak directly to fellow franchise owners for more information.
Becoming a Kumon Franchisee requires a full-time business commitment.
The total investment to set up a Kumon franchise in Singapore typically ranges from S$40,000 to S$80,000. This includes the franchise fee, renovation costs, and initial rental expenses.
From the initial enquiry, Instructors generally take between three to six months to get up and start running. These timelines vary depending on location and whether it is a new or existing Kumon franchise centre.
As the curriculum and learning materials are standardised in every Kumon learning centre, the programme fee is thus fixed. However, Kumon franchisees are responsible for managing variable costs that may impact their bottom line, such as rental, salaries etc.
You must be a Singaporean or PR with a degree in any discipline, or a diploma from NIE, to apply for a Kumon franchise.
